We started on Earth, a small planet, really, in a small galaxy that no-one had ever heard of before. Then, when the Earth died, humans moved away. Some boarded the space-carriers bound for the colonies on Mars, others took the long-haul to another galaxy entirely, where a planet so similar to Earth had been found that they started calling it "New Earth." Both of those expeditions were apparently short-lived. Mars didn 't sustain life nearly as long as had been projected, and New Earth suffered a similar
The Earth was hit more often than the Moon, however, because Earth is larger and has more gravity. This increased gravity also caused the impactors to be accelerated to higher velocities towards the Earth. That must have been a catastrophic time to be here. So many bombardments would have sterilized the planet. If life had appeared before this period, it would have been extinguished unless it found a way to retreat into niches where it could be protected from these global catastrophes. When some
a planet which lies between Earth and Mars that remains unknown to the humans on Earth. It is possible that this planet exists in a blind spot of Earth, prohibiting the humans from seeing it. This planet is known as Crasius, and its inhabitants are referred to as Crasiens. It is still a mystery how the moon was formed. While there are a few theories, new studies support the theory that states the moon was formed from debris from a collision between the planet Earth and a rock which is thought to
The Earth’s magnetic field The discovery of the Earth’s magnetic field Over 2000 years ago, the Chinese discovered that lodestone, a naturally magnetised iron ore, would align itself in a north-south direction. Hundreds of years later, they discovered that their “compasses” didn’t point true north and in fact that this position changed with time. The compass was first used for navigation in the 11th-12th century, only arriving in Europe towards the end of this period. Then, in 1600, William
make any discoveries and the people of today had to start without any prior knowledge. In about 500BC the ancient Greeks had an explosion of astronomical discoveries. The ancient Greeks wanted to know the answer to one big question; how does the universe work? The ancient Greeks contributed to astronomy through the discoveries about Earth, the universe, and the tools they used. The ancient Greeks contributed to astronomy through their discoveries about Earth. The first discovery about Earth is that
more and more ‘super-Earths’, which is a term used for an extrasolar planet that has a mass higher than planet Earth’s but below the mass of the solar systems’ gas giants. In some cases, these super-Earths contain water as well as potential living support. In 2011, fifty new planets were found. Sixteen of them are super-Earths. As the article states, these planets were found by a High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher – HARPS for
or alien life exists. The discovery may not be in the near future, but it is more than likely to happen. Someday we might be able to identify a planet and say that it is just like Earth. Finding life outside of Earth is within reach. Extraterrestrial life is not a myth and there are many reasons why such as evidence from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), discovery of Earth-like planets that orbit a sunlike star, and discoveries on planets closer to Earth. Many scientists believe
beginning of the human existence, research has been conducted leading to major discoveries. These discoveries are the tiniest aspects of our surroundings, but seem huge to mankind and our existence. Therefore, the race into space changed the course of history, from the first step on the moon, space exploration has flourished, triggering immense curiosity for ongoing discoveries. Space exploration is the ongoing discovery and exploration of celestial structures in outer space by means of continuously
out that the moon had a landscape features similar to the earth, with mountains and valleys. This discovery of his went against the Aristotelian way that all things past earth are all make of a “perfect celestial substance” but he realized that it looked like it was made of the same stuff that earth was. Jupiter is orbited by four moons, or as Galileo called them planets, that were previously unknown. This observation shows that the earth was not the center of motion. This was given credibility
it or just a controllable spacecraft so engineers or whoever works in the earth station can control this spacecraft. We do space travel because we want to discover more about the universe like how it started and where did our planet come from and if we are by our own or there are other creatures living somewhere else in the universe. Background Space exploration became part of human accomplishments after the discoveries and theoretical that been discovered by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Robert H
